Princess Mingwei said: "Mrs. Xie and the two Miss Xie, if you don't go back, I will let people inquire, so I have more connections here than you." If I can let you know about anything, it's better to know than not to know anything. ”

Xie Ning thanked him softly: "Then you have to worry too much." ”

They took a short road, passing by Mingjiang Pond, Cuiwei Hall and other places along the way, but neither of them was in the mood to enjoy the scenery, and after passing the Peony Garden, they could see Qingbi Hall.

Qingbitang was in a mess, and even the eunuch guarding the door looked anxious, and when he saw Xie Ning's sedan chair coming, he showed a very contradictory expression.

Looking forward to it again, and then panicking, I knelt down with a few plops.

Xie Ning frowned: "What's wrong?" ”

The eunuch in charge of Qingbi Garden jumped out of the door sweating profusely, knelt down in front of Xie Ning, and knocked three heavy knocks: "The slaves should die, the minions were negligent when Princess Shicai took a nap, and now the whereabouts of the princess can't be found." ”

Xie Ning's eyes suddenly darkened, and there was a buzzing in his ears, and his face changed suddenly.

Princess Mingwei also got off the sedan chair, and she was also anxious when she heard the words: "Why can't you find it?" Did the princess sneak out to play on her own or did someone take her out? Are you only looking for someone in Qingbi Hall, or have you already sent someone to look for it in the garden? ”

"I'm looking for ...... in Qingbi Hall No one has been sent out yet. ”

This also makes sense, first look for the neighborhood, and then look for it far away if you can't find it nearby. After all, Qingbitang is such a big place, just the bamboo forest rockery is enough to turn around for a while. But as soon as Princess Mingwei's eyes rolled, she knew their intention to do this.

If you only look for it in Qingbi Hall, the news will not be leaked out, and if you want to go out to find it, I am afraid that the news will spread all over the Kung Fu Jinfeng Garden in a short time, and the emperor will blame it, how can these minions who are not serving well have a way to live? Even Xie Jieyu can't get out of it.

Princess Mingwei groaned slightly, and said to Xie Ning: "It seems that I came here unfortunately, Xie Jieyu just has to be busy with serious things first, if there is a place for me, just send someone to Lan Huixuan to deliver a letter." ”

Xie Ning didn't have time to be polite to her, so he nodded hurriedly and said a word and entered Qingbi Hall.

If it is in the Yong'an Palace, this will not happen, because the Yong'an Palace is so big, there are many people, and they are familiar with the place, even the main gate has a total of four doors that can be entered and exited, but two of them are locked all the year round, not to mention the main gate, the back door is also guarded, and it is difficult to sneak out quietly.

But Qingbitang is different. The bamboo forest is densely packed with turns, and you can't see the end at a glance, the place is so big, it is several times the size of Yong'an Palace, Xie Ning and his party have not even figured out the direction and portal from the capital, and it is not a trivial matter to suddenly find Princess Yuyao at this time.

There was a mess in Qingbi Hall, and Xie Ning called Hu Rong to ask.

"What did the eunuch guarding the portal say?"

"They said they weren't lazy, they didn't let anyone out." Hu Rong added: "The minions don't dare to lie when they see them, these days they just want to compete in front of their masters." ”

"When did you find out that the princess was missing? Where have you been looking? ”

Hu Rong said: "The minions let people scatter and look for them." The princess was reluctant to eat at noon, and the nurse finally coaxed the princess to sleep, so she took the time to go to the toilet, and the palace maid who did not want to guard the princess took a nap. I searched all the courtyards of the princess's house, but there was no one to be found. ”

"Scatter and look like a fly without a head, you can't look like that. You call the people and divide them into shifts, and sift them from the back to the front, one by one. You have to see all the places where you can hide people, especially the bamboo forests, rockeries, and pools. ”

Hearing the word pool, the tendons in the corners of Hu Rong's eyes jumped fiercely, and he replied heavily: "Yes." ”

Xie Ning took Qinghe's hand back to the room and changed into a homely loose waist skirt and a pair of soft-bottomed silk cotton shoes. Qinghe comforted her softly: "The master doesn't have to be anxious, the princess is afraid of people, and she definitely didn't go out, most likely because the master is not panicking in her heart today, where is she secretly hiding, and she will definitely be able to find it in a while." ”

Shainin nodded.

On the surface, I couldn't see how anxious she was in her heart, and when she ordered Hu Rong just now, she didn't even see that she was messed up at all.

It's not that she's not anxious, but that anxiety is useless at this time, but it will affect her thoughts, and the more anxious she is, the easier it is to make mistakes.

Qingmei said outside: "Fang Shang Palace is here." ”

Xie Ning turned his head, and Qingmei had already helped Fang Shanggong in.

Fang Shanggong's anxiety was not revealed, and he held Qingmei's hand and saluted: "This is all the fault of the slave maid." ”

"You're sick, and who can guarantee that you won't miss a single mistake all year round? It's also that I didn't think about it thoroughly, the princess was afraid of life, and she had to follow me in Yong'an Palace. Suddenly I came to the garden, and I went to the banquet again, and she was unfamiliar with the place. ”

But the priority now is not to discuss who is right and who is wrong in this matter, but the first priority is to find out the people as soon as possible.

Fang Shanggong said: "The slave maid has two thoughts in her heart. First, the princess didn't run by herself, but someone else took the opportunity to enter, so how to deal with it? Second, if there is no whereabouts of the princess in another hour, this matter will have to be reported to the emperor. ”

Xie Ning nodded: "I thought of it too." ”

If someone took Princess Yuyao out, it would be a big disaster. That person is probably not good for the princess, and it has been a long time since he was done, and if he wanted to harm a child, it would have been done a long time ago. If it was to deal with Shaining, the other party really chose a good time, and this blow was ruthless and accurate.

An hour is enough for these people to carefully inspect Qingbitang, even if it is sifting inch by inch, it should be finished. If you can't find it, then ......

Shainin closed his eyes.

These days, she has been living too smoothly, and she is not familiar with life in the garden when she first arrives, which really makes her a mess now.

If something happens to Princess Yuyao, the emperor will never give up, how can Xie Ning explain to the emperor? Even if she doesn't mention this stubble, she will never be able to get around this hurdle in her own heart.

The emperor handed over the two children to her, but she made such a big mistake.

The palace maid guarding the door outside reported again: "The eldest prince is here." ”

Xie Ning turned his head to look out, and the eldest prince walked over quickly. Xie Ning saw that he was panting for breath, and his heart was stunned again: "Ying Yan woke up?" Why did you come here at this time? Take a good breath. ”

The eldest prince stopped and tried to ask calmly: "Xie Niangniang, I heard that my sister is missing?" ”

Xie Ning nodded: "I'm looking for her now." How do you feel, do you feel any discomfort in your body? ”

Don't lose one and not find it, this one is sick again, it really kills her.

"It's not uncomfortable." The eldest prince said, "I'll help you find it too." What kind of clothes did my sister wear to go out? What about shoes? If you wear shoes with wooden soles, you may get marks when you walk on dirt ground. ”

"She was not seen when she slept, and she was supposed to be wearing a water-red bedgown and soft-soled shoes in the house."

"If it's a red garment, it should be easy to find in the garden." The eldest prince said, "The garden is all green, and if there is a little red, you can see it." Xie Niangniang doesn't need to worry, my sister is timid, she won't run around, she definitely didn't go far. ”

I hope it's as he said, but now I'm afraid that she didn't run away by herself, but was taken away.

"I think I'll tell the emperor about this now, whisper." Shainin didn't dare to delay any longer. If you really delay for another hour, who knows what will happen? By then, it's too late to regret it.

Fang Shanggong and Qinghe both understood the weight of this sentence.

If the princess finds it quietly, even if the emperor knows about it afterwards, it can be regarded as their atonement, and this matter can be said to be naughty to the princess, and others will not be seriously responsible. If people go to the emperor without their whereabouts now, it is easy to imagine how angry the emperor will be.

"Master......" Qinghe said two words and stopped.

What could she say? Persuade the master not to tell the emperor?

So if the princess was really taken away and harmed, because they delayed the time to save people, who can bear the responsibility?

But as soon as the news was announced, the master's situation was even more difficult.

Today, she waited for Xie Ning to go to the Changchun Garden for a banquet, although she couldn't enter the water pavilion to serve, but she also knew everything about what happened in the water pavilion. The master's situation is so sinister, internal and external difficulties are forced together, and it has become a public loss, and now that this incident has happened, those people will definitely seize this opportunity to attack it en masse, and they must bite the master to death.

Fang Shanggong shook his head and said with difficulty: "Let's go in another half an hour." ”

Maybe you've found it?

Xie Ning's face was pale, and his hands were clasped tightly together.

The eldest prince stepped forward and gently held Xie Ning's hand with his little hand: "Xie Niangniang, don't worry too much, my sister will definitely be able to find it." ”

Xie Ning smiled at him reluctantly, his gaze resting on his feet.

The eldest prince should have just woken up and heard that something was wrong, and he came in a hurry, and his two shoes were worn backwards.

Xie Ning's heart suddenly moved, raised his head and asked, "Is the princess wearing shoes and missing?" ”

Qingmei was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "Yes, the nurse said that she took off her shoes and socks for the princess to put her to sleep, and when she came back, there was no one in the bed, and there were no shoes in front of the bed." ”

If someone sneaks in and takes the princess away, it won't necessarily put shoes on her. If she quietly got out of bed and slipped away, she might get used to putting her shoes on.

If it was really her own who quietly got out of bed and hid from the palace maid who was napping, then where would she go? Qingbitang was strange and empty to her......

Judging from Princess Yuyao's performance these days, she should want to find someone familiar.

What she's looking for is Shainin, right?

If the eunuch guarding the door hadn't lied, she wouldn't have been able to slip out of Qingbi Hall, she wasn't familiar with the direction of the path, and Qingbi Hall was too big.

Then she could ......
